Bhagavad-gītā As it Is — Bhagavad-gītā Como Ele É EM PROCESSO << 4 - Transcendental Knowledge >> << 4 - O Conhecimento Transcendental >> << VERSE 40 — VERSO 40 >> अज्ञश चाश्रद्दधानश च संशयात्मा विनश्यति नायं लॊकॊ ऽसति न परॊ न सुखं संशयात्मनः ajñaś cāśraddadhānaś ca saṁśayātmā vinaśyati nāyaṁ loko ’sti na paro na sukhaṁ saṁśayātmanaḥ WORD BY WORD — PALAVRA POR PALAVRA ajñaḥ a fool who has no knowledge in standard scriptures ca and aśraddadhānaḥ without faith in revealed scriptures ca also saṁśaya of doubts ātmā a person vinaśyati falls back na never ayam in this lokaḥ world asti there is na nor paraḥ in the next life na not sukham happiness saṁśaya doubtful ātmanaḥ of the person TRANSLATION — TRADUÇÃO But ignorant and faithless persons who doubt the revealed scriptures do not attain God consciousness; they fall down. For the doubting soul there is happiness neither in this world nor in the next. Mas as pessoas ignorantes e sem fé, que duvidam das escrituras reveladas, não alcançam a consciência de Deus; elas acabam caindo. Para a alma em dúvida não há felicidade nem neste mundo nem no próximo. PURPORT — SIGNIFICADO Out of many standard and authoritative revealed scriptures, the Bhagavad-gītā is the best. Persons who are almost like animals have no faith in, or knowledge of, the standard revealed scriptures; and some, even though they have knowledge of, or can cite passages from, the revealed scriptures, have actually no faith in these words. And even though others may have faith in scriptures like Bhagavad-gītā, they do not believe in or worship the Personality of Godhead, Śrī Kṛṣṇa. Such persons cannot have any standing in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. They fall down. Out of all the above-mentioned persons, those who have no faith and are always doubtful make no progress at all. Men without faith in God and His revealed word find no good in this world, nor in the next. For them there is no happiness whatsoever. One should therefore follow the principles of revealed scriptures with faith and thereby be raised to the platform of knowledge. Only this knowledge will help one become promoted to the transcendental platform of spiritual understanding. In other words, doubtful persons have no status whatsoever in spiritual emancipation. One should therefore follow in the footsteps of great ācāryas who are in the disciplic succession and thereby attain success. << Previous Verso — Verso anterior | Next Verse — Próximo >>
